U.S. Secretary of State Rubio wrote today (May 1st in Beijing time): "Thanks to President Trump's leadership, today the United States and Ukraine signed a Reconstruction Investment Fund agreement - this is a milestone for our shared prosperity and an important step towards ending this war."
[Wit] Comment: This agreement appears to be a result of economic cooperation, but it actually hides a deeper story. The U.S. has gained opportunities for the development of key mineral resources in Ukraine through the agreement, while Ukraine finds itself in a dilemma. Pitiful Ukraine, being used as a pawn by the U.S., even after signing the agreement, it cannot fundamentally guarantee its national security. The issue of Ukraine's territorial integrity remains unresolved, with the eastern regions still under Russia's control. However, if Zelenskyy refuses to sign this agreement, not only will the U.S. threaten to abandon it, but it may also "stand idly by" in front of Russia, leaving Ukraine in an even more dangerous situation.
